Stricter penalties for dog thieves in Scotland

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

I have recently started up a new project called The Scottish Dog Walking Awareness Project

People who steal other peoples pets have to be be held accountable by receiving harsher punishments as a deterrent to committing this crime. We mostly hear statistics about England and Wales but nothing about the increasing rise of these theft statistics in Scotland. Council and Police have to put in more efforts to help deter dog thefts happening by providing helplines and information ie: local parks given dog theft warning alerts

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Your petition is about something that the Scottish Government and Parliament are responsible for. That means that the UK Government and Parliament can't look into it.

The Scottish Parliament has its own Public Petitions Committee. If you'd like to send your petition to the Scottish Parliament, you can find out more here:
